hmm well I may not find this so economical later..oh well.
if I need more than I have spent the $$ on I will check this out.

the black ones I ws told get too hot for veggies so I lightly sprayed them
white on the outside only.

so far my brussels cauli & brocc. have survived the cold snap.

the pepper seedlings  however got mixed up wiht other things so I will have
to wait and see.

any ideas for ways to mark the seedlings--as in free (ish)?
